Also known as the Forest Loop, this is one of the most popular walking routes in the area. Starting from Carlingford Village this trail will take you up River lane and Savage’s Hill turning right will lead you along the bottom of the forest line leading north from the village toward the next coastal village of Omeath. Continuing the trail you will reach the car park and picnic area located at Slive Foy forest park before turning left along the top of the forest line and back towards Carlingford.

As you continue along the path and start to reach the end of the forest you will begin to see the village once again at the foot of the mountain, follow the route signs along the fields and you will soon find yourself back in Carlingford village.

Please keep your dogs on a lead as they are not permitted on the surrounding farmland.
